when i see this message i install visual C 2005 express then i got the same error again and i install visual C 2005 sp1

i restart after installations and i still got this error

what should i do

Answer 1

Try installing XNA 3.0 instead of that super-old version. It supports Visual Studio 2008 (and a million other features that XNA 1.0 doesn't support).

Answer 2

Try downloading the newest version of XNA, and you'll probably get better results:
